Selje - Day Sixteen Part 2

So Part 2 of today was also another lovely meal at Fure...Berit had made some delicious meatballs with an awesome gravy, steamed potaoes, some cooked cabbage with caraway seeds...super yummy as well as some mashed peas! My Dad would have loved those!

 

Here's Berit's dog, Simonna...she's very cute and lets us know whenever there is anyone arriving in the area...she stays in Fure lots when Berit is away so she keeps Else company.

 

This is one of Kjell's deer heads...he shot two deer's with a friend years ago and this was one of them and the other is just antlers above the fireplace...he needs to try to find a place in the house to display it! Can you imagine having this somewhere in your house?!!!

 

 

After our supper, Kjell suggested we head out to see the old church at Ervik which I showed in the Part 1 post...this area we are going to now is right off the coast of the Vesstkapp...we climbed up the mountain (in a car) all the way to the top!

 

These little characters were everywhere up there...just munching away!

 

 

Now the view is breathtaking...you can't even get a fraction of the feeling on film but you can get the general idea! You feel like you are on the top of the world...even though the visibility wasn't great with the low clouds, you could still make out the land formations...in the photo below you can see some stone ruins...this was where the German guns were stationed during their occupation in WWII.

 

 

 

Else looked up these 'flowers' (photo above) and said they are called White Wool...in English that is...they had a lovely Norwegian name...it isn't wool...feels more like a silky hair...I plucked some and brought it home in my purse...

 

 

 

This is a meteorologist station...

 

 

We wanted to make a quick stop seeing as we have been passing this site each day on our way to Fure...really spectacular site!

 

 

 

 

It's hard to see but there are seats in the hillside that people can sit and enjoy a show. Every year on the anniversary of this site, there is a performance recreating moments in their Norwegian history.

 

 

 

I just liked this little stream around the site...wanted to take a moment to capture it and enjoy it :)

 

WiFi at Doktorsgarden is very poor...we can send off text messages and sometimes have emails come through but surfing the web or doing these blog posts have been beyond difficult!

Tomorrow is our last day in Selje...Else and Berit will be meeting us in the morning and we are going to see the Selje Church and a local gallery...then on to Maloy for the night.
